DANIA BEACH, Fla. — A man was being credited with tying the 77-year-old world record for catching the biggest largemouth bass. The International Game Fish Association announced Friday that it had confirmed the 22-pound, 4-ounce fish caught by Manabu Kurita. The Florida-based group said Kurita caught the fish July 2 on Lake Biwa, Japan's largest lake.

Kurita's fish tied the record of George Perry, who caught his bass on Georgia's Montgomery Lake on June 2, 1932.

Kurita used 25-pound test line and a live blue gill as bait.
 
First off this is old news I heard about it the week he caught it. Second of the fish was caught in japan and by a guy who lives in japan. Nothing to do with Florida, the people who wrote the article are from Florida and the info was gathered from a Florida-based group. But the fish nor the angler were from Florida.
 
One big bass

Hahaha that's old news and your completely wrong about all of it.:shakehead:shakehead:shakehead
 
Yeah i realized it after i posted it i went crap this was already said.
 
Biwako or Lake Biwa has been producing monster bass for many years.
It`s a shame though that Japan`s biggest lake has become the aquarists rubbish bin. Apparently there are over 100 species of non native fish in there, from piraruk, piranha to alligator gars etc etc.
Iikehara dam is another big fish spot, and I wouldn`t be surprised if something really special ie a new record comes out of there soon!

Tight lines everyone :headbang2
 
this was on InFishermans cover last month, the guy said he's snapped of what he believed to be 28+ pound bass in the past and he was suprised by catching this bass for the record weight.
